Dan Green: Most of us at some point in our life have noticed that the word God, the Supreme and Infinite Personal Being, in reverse presents us with the word ‘dog’, man’s best friend. Given the importance of the title of our Creator, I could only wonder if they could be any significance in why the mirror imaging of the word should draw our attention to a contract drawn up between Man and dog, as remote as 10,000 years ago. Who was responsible for the naming of ‘God’, likewise who named the first dog? The plot thickens when we discover that the origin of both words is unclear, the exact history of the word God remaining unknown and the origin of dog tantalisingly one of the greater mysteries of English etymology having no known root in other languages. What might be the concealed connection? There are two possible ‘leakages’ within the religious spectrum.The first concerns St Dominic, founder of the Catholic order of Dominicans and, interestingly as we will see later, Patron Saint of astronomers.

I am happy I found this article again. I found it interesting but the first time I read this there were others pictures with it as well. There was one picture in particular that caught my attention, I was wondering if you noticed it as well. The picture with Joseph and Mary and the baby Jesus. Did you by chance notice anything in the upper left hand corner of the stained glass. I will try to add the picture....can't wait to hear back.
